Million-Dollar Ideas
A few VR applications we overheard or came up with ourselves
Fri., Aug. 8, 2014
3-D Print Preview
Don't waste your 3-D printer's time. Walk around your creation and get a sense of its actual size before committing real-world resources to making it a reality.
Drive-In
Get that old-timey drive-in vibe, and, with enough coding, maybe add a date to the experience. Any tactile feedback to your physical advances will have to be supplied by the user.
Handless E-Reader
Turn pages by tilting your head to the left or right. Perfect for disabled or injured individuals. Or forgo the book altogether and have a virtual Morgan Freeman or Judi Dench read you to sleep.
Porn
What happens in virtual reality stays in virtual reality.
Actual Virtual Tours
Walk around a house before you buy it. Look over your office building's atrium before constructing it. Architects can give clients "walking" tours of spaces they've only imagined.
